November 11, 2006

Just a quick update with a couple of pics - there's the one of Charlie just about to blow his candles out at his birthday party, plus we picked up our camera from the repair shop today, so Pete's been trying it out on Charlie this evening! (Incidentally, he's not turning into an Oompah-Loompah - he'd just been scoffing orange peppers in the pic above!)He's had a really busy week this week - not least signing his name on 30-odd thank-you letters for all the presents he had for his birthday! He's had a lovely week, and still hasn't played with some of his new toys because there are SO many of them!He's still enjoying playschool, and is already learning songs for Christmas. He sang me 'Away in a Manger' this morning which was lovely - but cue another Kleenex moment if all the playschool kiddies sing it at their Christmas party! However, this has meant that our Christmas carol CD has gone on earlier than ever before because he likes to sing along!Charlie's doing so well at the moment - he's fought off the horrible cold and cough he's had without too much trouble, and his latest achievement is learning to spell his name. What a superstar! Maybe by next year he'll be able to write ALL of his own thank-you letters! I live in hope!!

About Me

Welcome to Charlie's News! Charlie was born on November 5, 2003, minus the left side of his heart - a complex congenital heart defect known as Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. He had two open-heart surgeries in his first five months, and had his third stage Fontan completion in March 2010, aged six-and-a-half.
Charlie's heart is special - but not as special as he is!
